Oh Loooooooooong Time, No Post

Well, I have been such a bad blogger, but I needed a break. It was getting down to crunch time this semester and it was killing me.

Thankfully, I am done with Spring semester 2009 and have stellar grades to show for it. (If I do say so myself. Sorry no more self-gratifying comments, but I seriously worked my little tushie off for each one of those grades.)

I have registered for Fall at Henderson. I am VERY much looking forward to my classes. I am so thankful to be done with most of my gen. eds. and beginning my family and consumer science classes! Anyway enough of that.

Kili is turning 1 a month from today, and I just can't believe it. Boy how the year has flown by!

Her current daily "to do" list includes:

• taking a few steps alone
• sucking on her paci incessantly
• working on accepting a sippy cup
• drinking at least 4 bottles
• eating a little bit of table food
• taking 2 big naps each day
• sleeping through the night 1 or 2 times a week
• stopping to watch the Billy May's (?) Oxi-Clean commercial
• playing independently more and more
• waving at everyone all the time
• hating being buckled in her car seat
• needing mommy all the time (but I'm cherishing these moments b/c I am afraid they will end so soon)
• super speed crawling
• loving to be carried
• diving off of anything headfirst
• loving swimming and anything else outside
• saying a handfull of words and two phrases
• giving kisses and hugs and pats on the back
• screaming when in the bath tub
• we seem to visit the dr once a week =(

I need to decide a theme for her b-day party. Any ideas??

We are just going to have it at a park under a pavillion, since we live away from the friends and family that will be invited we are just going to have it in our hometown. I want to do it mid-afternoon. Just homemade ice-cream and cake.
